This book is good. However, you don't have to pay for it. You can download the content of this book from MrSwing.com. And I mean the exact actual book with different name. This book was written to promote MrSwing's SwingTracker, and therefore should be given for free.
I was very disapointed to pay for a book I already downloaded for free.
In MrSwing.com this book is called "A Practical Guide to Swing Trading" by Larry Swing, who also wrote the forward for this book.

I have been trading stocks and options for some time now. I found this book to be relatively boring and also a little mis-informative. The book provides a "Master Plan", however as a trader who has worked with sound trading plans, I found this one to be a little inadequate. Aside from format, it does not differentiate between a $5 move for a $12 or a $120 stock. There is insufficient information on signal identification as well as strike rate. This makes it potentially dangerous for new traders. Anyone using this system should thoroughly backtest before putting any real money on the line, to make sure you understand it.

You can always learn something from every book, and this one is no exception. However I did not find that my knowledge of swing trading was increased through a simplified presentation of the process. As with many books that offer to enlighten you, the amount of enlightenment is often less than you would like.

It is an easy to follow guide...practical...no get rich quick schemes. If you plan on investing in individual stocks, and lack a strategic approach in so doing, the Master Plan is definitely a good start. The mrswing.com site gives you free specific stock recommendations weekly (with detail entry/exit strategy)...take a look and make your own assessment. You don't have to buy anything or be obligated in anyway to obtain plenty of solid information from the site. Stay away from black box trading systems that costs $1000's of dollars to begin with and no entry/exit strategy and learn the basics of swing trading with this book.

I found this book to be well written and easily understood especially since I have a very little limited backgound in stocks and the market. The illustrations were helpful and enabled me to visually see what the writer was explaining in the text. I have utilized the book when I am looking to determine what certain stocks are doing and why. It has been an asset to me.

Basic stuff. Swing trading explained for 10year olds.
Your money would be better spent on Larry Swing's E book "A practical
guide to swing trading".

Larry Swing (MrSwing) is the man, you want real info this is the book + website www.mrswing.com !
